In wet conditions at Coogee, the Beasts proved too strong in what was a typically hard-fought local derby, coming from behind with 10 minutes to go to win 27-23.
The visitors scored three tries to two and are now firmly established inside the top three teams after a month of competition.
At Manly Oval, Eastwood were victors over the Marlins to remain the only undefeated side in the competition.
Little separated the two teams and the home ground advantage was expected to be an asset for Manly, but it was the visitors who ran in three tries to two.
Lock Josh Dunning bagged an unlikely double for Eastwood who have set themselves up well for a defence of the minor premiership.
And in the story of the round, Parramatta has ended one of the longest droughts in Australian sport, scoring their first victory in more than a year.
The 22-17 win at Pittwater Rugby Park saw the Two Blues score three tries to two, handing the Rats their third straight defeat.
Next week the ABC team travels to Chatswood Oval for the match between Gordon and Parramatta.
Can the Two Blues make it two in a row?

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stars in this gritty and inspirational movie based on a true story of a group of teenage delinquents given a second chance to redeem themselves by playing football. Sean Porter (Johnson) is a frustrated juvenile probation officer. Most of the kids in his detention camp are either sent back to prison once they leave or meet a violent end when they return to the streets. Desperately looking for a way to make a difference, he and his co-worker Malcolm Moore (Xzibit, TV's Pimp My Ride) devise a plan to teach discipline and responsibility through the game of football. But with only four weeks before the start of the season, Porter must overcome insurmountable odds to put together a competitive team. It's a season that will test their minds, spirit, and bodies as Porter teaches his players the principles of good character, strength through resiliency, and genuine respect for one another.Price: $14.94

Mitchell suffered the injury when he collided with Scott Higginbotham during the Waratahs' 19-15 loss to the Queensland Reds in their Super rugby match in Brisbane.
Waratahs coach Chris Hickey said after the match, when it was confirmed Mitchell had dislocated his right ankle and broken a bone in his leg, that his winger was not expected to be back this year.
Players with similar injuries have needed at least six months to recover.
The 27-year-old Mitchell, however, said he expected the injury to be healed within three months and the motivating factor during his rehabilitation would be to be included in Deans' World Cup squad.
He had been an almost certainty prior to the injury.
"The indication I got is 12-14 weeks, it is much better news than it could have been," Mitchell was quoted as saying by Tuesday's Sydney Morning Herald.
"If I had been looking at the World Cup as not being an option at all, sometimes the motivation might not have been as high as it could be.
"I'll make sure that whatever day-to-day rehab stuff is required, I will do.
"It will be tedious and boring but, if that tedious and boring work is going to put me in a position to hopefully be looked at for World Cup selection, it will be worth it.
"I was immediately trying to work out how many weeks it would be before I could possibly return. It has put me in a better place than what it could have.
"Also, ever since the last World Cup when we were eliminated in the quarter-finals, from that moment I have done everything I can to get back for the next World Cup."
Australia have been drawn in Pool C with Ireland, Italy, the United States and Russia for the September 9 to October 23 World Cup in New Zealand.

Five-eighth Barnes has missed several matches while recovering from concussion and, while he has been passed medically fit, the 24-year-old must feel comfortable in his role in a contact session before being given the green light by coach Chris Hickey.
Fellow Wallaby Kurtley Beale did not train on Tuesday as he battles to recover from lateral ligament damage in his knee.
The injury is not serious, but Beale will need to be monitored and his chances of turning out at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday depend on how he responds to training later in the week.
The Waratahs mounting injury woes again claimed Phil Waugh, the captain picking up a nasty hamstring tear in the weekend loss to Queensland which will keep him out at least two weeks.
It is the third different injury for Waugh this season and the ageing warrior admits he is struggling to find a balance of how hard to push his body.
"It's extremely frustrating but it's a fine line and you've got to push yourself throughout your career all the time and sometimes you push yourself harder than the body can handle," Waugh said on Tuesday.
"Right at the end of the game, literally as I was about to come off, pretty much the last run (I did my hamstring).
"Unfortunately that's sport and I just need to recover as quickly as possible.
"It's fairly significant so it's just a matter of trying to rehab it as quick as possible and get back on the field ... it'll at least be a couple of weeks."
Australian representatives Drew Mitchell, Rob Horne and Wycliff Palu are also on the NSW injury list.
However in good news for the team, Wallabies hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau is on track to face the Rebels after a head knock forced him from the field against the Reds.

Wallabies winger Mitchell underwent foot surgery in Brisbane on Sunday afternoon which was expected to confirm initial forecasts his 2011 World Cup dream had been sadly shattered.
At the same time, the Waratahs flew back into Sydney following the painful 19-15 loss to Queensland with hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau (shoulder) and number eight Wycliff Palu (hamstring) in serious doubt for Saturday night's clash with the Melbourne Rebels.
Both Test forwards suffered recurrences of lingering problems that have plagued them and may be given extra time off over the next three to four weeks to ensure they properly recover before the business end of the season.
New South Wales (28) slipped 11 points behind the table-topping Reds and six points out of the top six with their first Templeton Cup loss in seven years, but do have home games against three bottom-half sides and a bye in the next month.
But the loss of Mitchell, arguably the form winger in the country, is a massive blow.
He screamed in anguish as his right foot stuck out on a 90-degree angle before medics could sedate him and put his ankle back in place.
"His form has been outstanding and to lose a quality player like him just adds to the list we've accumulated this season," Waratahs coach Chris Hickey.
"We have some depth there and we'll just have to dig into that.
"We're just halfway through the competition ... and we have a block of three home games which we have to make the most out of before we go to South Africa (to play the Sharks and Bulls)."
While Higginbotham should have been penalised for a professional foul, NSW opted against citing the Reds number eight as his intent was not malicious.
Queensland also suffered some significant battle damage with Digby Ioane (facial laceration) and Ben Daley (broken nose) in doubt for Saturday night's match against the Hurricanes in Wellington.
Both Rod Davies (knee) and James Slipper (collarbone) also look unlikely to return after missing the grudge match.
Reds coach Ewen McKenzie denied his side's "special" victory had allowed it to steal the baton from the Tahs as the country's premier provincial outfit.
"They've been the form Australian team for the last six or seven seasons, they've dominated Australian rugby and been the most consistent side, so to knock off a team like that you are going into new territory," he said.
"I think we've made progress. On the basis of Saturday night it's pretty tight and given they've been so consistent you can't say the baton's been passed, but at least we're showing we're in contention and that's a good space.
"The wins that change history a little bit, they're important.
"We'll enjoy our moment and move on."

Force full-back Cameron Shepherd scored the match-winning try 12 minutes from time and also pulled off a desperate, try-saving tackle earlier in the half to propel the Force to their third victory of the season and second on the trot.
The Bulls, winners of the past two titles, face an almighty task to even qualify for this year's finals, with their third straight loss leaving them with just four wins from nine games.
Force whizz kid James O'Connor nailed six of seven kicks for an 18-point haul, the speedy 20-year-old also creating numerous opportunities in open play.
The Force could not break through the Bulls' resolute defence in the opening half, with three penalties to O'Connor and another to Willie Ripia the only reward.
The Bulls looked dangerous every time they entered their attacking 22m, with hooker Chilliboy Ralepelle barging over in the 11th minute and winger Bjorn Basson adding the visitors' second just eight minutes later.
Basson's try arrived just a minute after O'Connor was harshly sin-binned for a lifting tackle on Bulls full-back Zane Kirchner, who twisted in the tackle and landed heavily on his back.
The Bulls added 10 points to three during O'Connor's spell on the sideline, but a determined Force closed the deficit to just 15-12 by half-time, capitalising on several glaring handling errors by the visitors.
Force scrum-half Brett Sheehan was a fired-up customer and understandably so after copping an off-the-ball elbow to the head from Bulls prop Dean Greyling late in the first half.
Points were hard to come by early in the second half, with Morrne Steyn's 55th-minute penalty quickly cancelled out by O'Connor up the other end.
Shepherd's first heroic act came in the 51st minute when his desperate tackle pushed Jaco Pretorius' boot into touch just as the Bulls centre dived forward in an attempt to score a try.
O'Connor's hot kicking continued as he nailed a pair of vital penalties, and Shepherd put the Force in front in the 68th minute when he grabbed a desperate pass from Ripia and touched down in the corner.
O'Connor's 77th minute penalty gave the Force an eight-point buffer, and although Steyn closed the gap back to five with two minutes remaining, the home side held firm in the dying stages.

Smit scored his team's first try and impressed in the tight-loose to show that he remains a strong candidate to lead the Springboks in the defence of their Rugby World Cup crown in New Zealand later this year.
Sharks coach John Plumtree had picked Bismarck du Plessis ahead of Smit in the team's first eight matches of the season, with Smit having to slot in as a prop, but an injury to Du Plessis opened the way for Smit to return to his specialist position.
The Hurricanes led 13-3 early in the match despite being down to 14 men after lock James Broadhurst was yellow carded.
It was 13-13 at half-time and the New Zealand team regained the lead at 18-13 when replacement flank Faifili Levave scored a try in the first minute of the second half.
But Mvovo scored his first try four minutes later and although fly half Dan Kirkpatrick kicked two penalty goals to put the visitors ahead again the Sharks dominated the last 25 minutes of the match with a stiff breeze at their back.
Centre Meyer Bosman burst through two tackles to score a try and Mvovo ran half the length of the field to score an intercept try which gave the Sharks a bonus point.
All Black centre Ma'a Nonu, who set up both his team's tries, scored by full-back Cory Jane and Levave, was yellow carded 11 minutes from time following an illegal steal, effectively killing off the Hurricanes' chances.
A late try by eighth man Ryan Kankowski sealed the win for the Sharks.
Smit praised his team's second-half performance, which enabled them to move one point ahead of the Stormers at the top of the South African conference, although the Stormers have a game in hand.
Smit said the Sharks were now looking forward to a 'massive' game against the Stormers in Cape Town next Saturday.
"They wore us down," admitted Hurricanes captain Andrew Hore.
He said his team needed to improve ahead of their home match against the top-of-the-table Queensland Reds in Wellington next week.
"We've got to get the full package right," he said.

In a game between the bottom teams in the South African and New Zealand conferences, the visitors outscored their hosts by five tries to three to kick off their two-match African tour in style.
It was the Chiefs' third win in nine outings while the Lions suffered their ninth loss in 10 matches under former All Blacks coach John Mitchell.
"To get a win like this was pretty pleasing," said Chiefs skipper Mils Muliaina.
"Any team that comes over here must win the physical battle and we did that tonight."
Last year's corresponding match at the same venue produced an extraordinary 72-65 win for the Chiefs, but this was an altogether tighter affair between two sides who stand little chance of advancing to the play-offs.
As was the case in last year's 137-point affair, the result was in the balance until the final whistle when a last-gasp Lions attack was snuffed out just a few metres from the Chiefs' line.
The Lions opened up an early 6-0 lead via two penalties from fly half Burton Francis but the visitors wrested the initiative back with two tries in the space of eight minutes by flanker Waldrom.
The opensider struck in the 22nd minute when he burrowed over from close range before running a perfect angle from first receiver to score from 20 metres out on the half hour.
Mazy run
Fly half Stephen Donald converted to make it 12-6, but the Lions were soon in the lead once again when full-back Michael Killian darted over following a mazy cross-field run from winger Lionel Mapoe after he expertly fielded an attempted touch-finder.
Francis's conversion looked to have given the Lions a morale-boosting one-point lead at the break but the Chiefs had other ideas, lock Romana Graham picking up from a ruck in injury time and stretching over for his team's third try.
Francis cut the deficit to three points when he slotted a third penalty in the 44th minute. The Chiefs replied with a bonus-point try to prop forward Toby Smith with half an hour left.
The Lions' poor defence, which has been their downfall all season, was in evidence once again when Chiefs winger Lelia Masaga cut through with ease from a line-out move before passing to centre Dwayne Sweeney to finish off.
Donald added his third conversion to increase the lead to 15 points. The Lions refused to throw in the towel, replacement flanker Josh Strauss barging over on the hour for his team's second try.
Flanker and former skipper Cobus Grobbelaar dotted down from a line-out drive with eight minutes left to make it a one-point game before Donald ensured much-needed breathing breathing room for his tiring troops with a 76th-minute penalty.
"We spoke this week about letting in too many soft tries and it happened again today," said Lions captain Doppies la Grange.
"I think the guys need a break."

Throughout the 1980s, Miami was at the center of a racial and cultural shift taking place throughout the country, and the University of Miami football team served as a microcosm for this evolution. A predominantly white university, the school's image was forever changed when coach Howard Schnellenberger scoured some of the toughest ghettos in Florida to recruit mostly black players for his team. With a newly branded swagger, inspired and fueled by the quickly growing local Miami hip hop culture, these Canes' took on larger-than-life personalities and won four national titles between 1983 and 1991. Filmmaker Billy Corben, a Miami native and University of Miami alum, tells the story of how these "Bad Boys" of football changed the attitude of the game they played, and how this serene campus was transformed into "The U."

Ross Skeate of the Sharks takes a high ball under pressure from the Hurricanes during their Super Rugby match in Durban on April 23, 2011.
The Reds somehow held firm to survive a torrid NSW scrummaging onslaught in front of the biggest Australian crowd of the season and put the Waratahs' Super Rugby finals hopes on a knife-edge with a 19-15 win .
The home side notched a franchise record seventh straight win with a tense triumph where NSW camped on the Queensland line for the bulk of the second half without breaking through.
From the 50th minute to the 70th play hardly left the Reds' 22 as the Waratahs powerful, experienced pack dictated terms in the scrum but all they reaped was three points from a penalty goal to trail 16-15 with eight minute left.
Often it appeared a pushover try or penalty try was only one scrum or collapse away but Queensland's reserve front row scrambled gallantly, with replacement hooker James Hanson a hero.
Waugh, who was replaced at the 65-minute mark, finished the match livid with the refereeing of Ian Smith, who replaced Steve Walsh (calf) at half-time.
The flanker argued Smith should have rewarded the Waratahs' dominant scrum with a penalty try, and also claimed centre Tom Carter scored a legitimate try which was denied by television match official Steve Leszczynski.
"We were on our way to (a penalty try)," he said, referring to a string of two penalties and two other resets on the Reds line in 51st minute.
"We were clearly the dominant scrum and there was no question at all.
"You've got to reward dominance."
Waugh said Carter was adamant he scored from a 70th-minute driving maul which would have put the Waratahs in the lead at 17-16 and with a kick to come.
"He thinks he scored it and everyone around him thought he scored it," Waugh said.
Despite the controversy, Queensland was superior in all other facets of the game and coach Ewen McKenzie lauded his side's brave second-half rearguard.
"A lot of games are determined by skill, some get determined by character and fortitude and tonight was one of the latter," McKenzie said.
Skipper James Horwill, who had never beaten NSW before in six previous matches, said he could not ask any more from his team which was jubilant at finally scratching the seven-year glitch.
"They were making tackle after tackle and just bouncing up and it was really inspiring to see that," he said.
"The true grit and the never-say-die attitude, I know it's a cliche, but that's why there was the raw emotion at the end."
While half-back Will Genia was a stand-out, Reds playmaker Quade Cooper scored all Queensland's points, including a brilliant 34th-minute solo try, to grab the Templeton Cup for the first time since 2004.
The Reds (39) win keeps them on top of the competition table and gives them a 11-point lead over their NSW arch-rivals (28) on top of the Australian conference.
Making the Waratahs' finals quest even tougher is the fact they will have to do it without in-form winger Drew Mitchell who broke his leg and dislocated his right ankle in a sickening first-half incident when he fell chasing a Luke Burgess kick.

Fly half Quade Cooper scored a brilliant individual try and slotted two penalties and a drop goal to give the hosts a 16-9 lead going into the break, before New South Wales spent the majority of the second half camped inside Queensland's defensive 22 trying to get back into the contest.
A countless number of reset scrums and Reds errors and penalties seemed to help the visitors' cause, but they could not breach the line in what was a phenomenal display of determination by the competition leaders.
It was the first time the Reds had got their hands on the Templeton Cup since 2004, and ended a run of three straight losses to the Tahs in Brisbane, all by seven or less points.
Reds coach Ewen McKenzie said his he was happy to end the rot against the Tahs but also prove his side was more than an attacking minded side.
"It was real trench warfare there, probably one for the purists but in the end we prevailed," he told Grandstand.
"Everyone thinks of us as an attacking side and we are, but you have to defend as well.
"It defines your character, about how you front up in that area and whether you can keep your line in tact.
"They tested us for long periods of time and it's a credit to the players they just kept at it.
"We've come a long way in the last 18 months."
Queensland is now level with the Blues atop the overall standings on 39 points and 11 points clear of the Waratahs who are next in the Australian conference.
New South Wales' bid to make the finals will be made all the much harder after losing Wallabies winger Drew Mitchell 19 minutes into the first half with a dislocated ankle after colliding with Scott Higginbotham while chasing a kick.
Cooper had the 36,000-strong crowd rocking in the 34th minute when he sliced through the Tahs defence, leaving Ryan Cross for dead and sidestepping Kurtley Beale at full-back to score before celebrating with a double back flip.
Despite his first-half heroics, Cooper had a second 40 minutes to forget, kicking the ball out on the full on five occasions while his much-anticipated battle with Beale failed to materialise in a stop-start affair.
Scrum time
The Reds front row was belted all evening as the Tahs converted two penalties before turning up the heat as they pushed for a vital five-pointer.
Despite spoiling a host of New South Wales drives as well as dealing with the constant whistle of referee Ian Smith, Queensland continued to turn the ball over with poor clearances and set pieces.
Substitute centre Tom Carter tried to claim a try for the visitors at the back of a rolling maul, but the television match official correctly ruled there was no proof of the football being ground over the line.
New South Wales eventually picked up another penalty to bring the scores back to 16-15 but that would be its last points of the evening as the Reds relished being let out of their defensive prison as Cooper iced the game with a three more points in the final minute.
Waratahs lock Dean Mumm said his side was unable to capitalise on a number of opportunities to score.
"We can be proud of the effort, it was certainly an 80-minute performance," he said.
"We worked very hard for very little reward.
"We were very please with our scrum and we were putting a lot of pressure on theirs.
"There were times where we needed to keep the faith and keep working.
"We weren't far away, but full credit to the Reds, their defence was very good in that period."
Reds: 19 (Q Cooper try; Cooper conversion, 3 penalties, drop goal)
Waratahs: 15 (K Beale 5 penalties)

![Football America [VHS]](/51VK4MDHWML.jpg)
Often overlooked on a colorful college football Saturday or on an action-packed NFL Sunday are the people who have a far deeper passion for the sport than those on the field. These aren't the highly recruited athletes or the high-priced pro stars; these are the everyday people who love the sport. Football America is a 94-minute feature narrated by James Coburn that introduces some of these people and their truly amazing stories. This video uncovers the unpublicized aspects of football, from a high school team in Juneau, Alaska, that plays on the bed of a mammoth glacier, to a tough-touch all-women's league in Key West, Florida, to a team inside prison walls in Pennsylvania. These stories alone would make this video worthwhile, but the inclusion of three additional pieces makes it exceptional. One is the story of 61-year-old Bob Blechen of Ventura, California, finishing his 46th season in football as a player on a semipro team. Another is of Dot Murphy, an assistant at Hinds Community College in Raymond, Mississippi, the only woman to coach on a college team in America. But the best is appropriately the last, a touching piece on the Gallaudet University Bisons in Washington, D.C., the only all-deaf college team in America, and their big bass drum that signals the start of their offensive plays. Football America is not just about the sport or the glorified professional athletes; this is about real people with a real passion. --Gordie Sholtys

The Crusaders had crushed the Highlanders 44-13 five weeks ago and were expected to comfortably account for their southern neighbours as both sides rotated their squads to rest some front-line players.
All Blacks Dan Carter, Richie McCaw and Kieran Read were all sidelined for the Crusaders.
"Both sides made changes and those guys who came in really wanted to have big games. It's a testament to the culture we have got in our squad," Highlanders captain Jamie Mackintosh said.
"It just shows that if we keep that good culture then guys can step up and play well and it's enjoyable."
Matt Berquist and Tony Brown traded early penalties to open the scoring in a high-paced match before the Crusaders' Zac Guildford finished a brilliant try, sparked from deep inside their own half, and converted by Berquist.
The Highlanders dragged themselves back into the game with tries to wingers Siale Piutau and James Paterson after some determined defence and counter-rucking at the breakdown, which disrupted the Crusaders' quick attacking platform and forced Berquist to slot a drop goal between the two Otago tries.
Brown, who at 36 has been brought back because of Colin Slade's broken jaw, converted Paterson's try but missed a late penalty as the visitors went into the break with a surprise 15-13 lead.
Paterson grabbed his second try of the match straight aftert the kick-off when the Highlanders attacked from a scrum on halfway and recycled several quick phases for Brown to cross-kick to Paterson, who was waiting unmarked on the wing.
The Crusaders then had a purple patch, demolishing the Highlanders scrum, but were also heavily penalised and unable to breach the defence.
The home side got a slice of luck when the Highlanders turned the ball over while on attack and centre Adam Whitlock scooped up the ball and sprinted 50 metres for a try.
Berquist missed the sideline conversion that would have levelled the score at 20-20.
Brown then slotted two penalties in quick succession to give the Highlanders a 26-18 lead with 15 minutes remaining and they then spent the rest of the time defending their advantage.
"Their defensive line was up real quick and they really slowed down our ruck ball and all credit to them, it won them the game," Crusaders lock Chris Jack said.
"We didn't perform that well but we were beaten by a better side on the day."
Highlanders: 26 (J Paterson 2, S Piutau tries; T Brown conversion, 3 penalties)
Crusaders: 18 (Z Guildford, A Whitelock tries; M Berquist conversion, penalty, drop goal)

The Waratahs dished up the Rebels' worst loss of their debut season, 43-0, in round one in Melbourne.
Since then the Rebels have won three games and proven competitive in most, but the New South Wales match marks the start of the toughest period in the side's short history.
Melbourne travels to Sydney then hosts the rampant Queensland Reds before two games in South Africa.
"Don't remind me," coach Rod Macqueen joked when asked about the looming contests.
The Rebels lost Mark Gerrard before their 40-23 loss to the Auckland Blues at North Harbour Stadium on Friday night after he injured his hamstring at their final training run.
Skipper Mortlock, who missed the previous round with a hip injury, left the playing field midway through the second half with back tightness.
But Melbourne was hopeful both would be available next weekend.
"We are confident that Stirling will be available for the Waratahs game," a club spokesman said on Saturday after the team returned to Melbourne.
"Mark Gerrard will be monitored during the week but we are hopeful that he will be right to play as well.
The late withdrawals of Mortlock and then Gerrard meant Melbourne has been unable to field its preferred centre combination in either of the past two games which Macqueen said was unsettling for the side.
Their defence was particularly disappointing early on, with mercurial five-eighth Danny Cipriani, defending in the centres, contributing to two early tries scored by the Blues when he rushed up out of the line.
But the Rebels fought back to within five points until two tries by the home side in the final 10 minutes.
"There was certainly some good things there and when we put it together we've got good shape and we're a much better side," Macqueen said.
"We're a good team with the ball, we've just got to be able to get it more often and keep our penalties down."

Longest Yard - In this rough-and tumble movie, actually filmed on-location at the Georgia State Prison, the cons are the heroes and the guards are the heavies. Eddie Albert is the sadistic warden who'll gladly make any sacrifice to push his guards' semi-pro football team to the national championship. Burt Reynolds plays one-time pro quarterback Paul Crewe, now behind bars for leading State Police on a wild chase in a "borrowed car" and more. He agrees to organize a prisoners' team to play the guards. The warden intercedes to assure that his goon squad will meet only passive resistance from Crewe's "Mean Machine." But the license to pound on their hated guards is a big incentive for murderers and thieves to learn strategy. North Dallas Forty - In a society in which major league sporting events have replaced Sunday worship as the religion of choice, North Dallas Forty appears like a desecration at the altar. In this film, directed by Ted Kotcheff (The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz), the National Football League is revealed to be more about the money than the game. Nick Nolte is North Dallas Bulls pass-catcher Phillip Elliott, whose cynicism and independent spirit is looked upon as troublesome by team coaches Johnson (Charles Durning) and Strothers (G.D. Spradlin) and team owner Conrad Hunter (Steve Forrest). Elliot, at the end of his career and wise to the way players are bought and sold like cattle, goes through the games pumped up on painkillers conveniently provided by the management. His teammates include savvy quarterback Maxwell (Mac Davis) and lunk-headed defensive lineman Jo Bob Priddy (Bo Svenson), who deal with the impersonality and back-biting of the game through off-field diversions. When the Bulls management benches Elliot after manipulating him to help train a fellow teammate, Elliot has to decide whether there is more to life than the game that he loves. Necessary Roughness - The Texas State Armadillos are fourth down and nowhere-to-go after a corruption scandal nearly ends the football program. Now upstanding coach Ed Gennero (Hector Elizondo) must put together a brand-new team. For the position of quarterback, Gennero recruits Paul Blake (Scott Bakula, Quantum Leap), a 34-year-old former high school star whose field of dreams turned out to be the family farm. Blake still has the arm, but can he score with a team that includes a samurai lineman, a butterfingered receiver, and a Samoan strongman with eyes for the placekicker (Kathy Ireland)?Price: $24.99

After conceding three tries in opening 18 minutes, the Rebels got the margin back to six points with 15 remaining before late tries to Jared Payne and Luke Braid sewed up a third straight bonus-point victory for the New Zealanders.
The five points puts the Blues at the peak of the overall Super Rugby table with 39 points, two points clear of the Stormers and four ahead of the Reds and Crusaders who take on the Waratahs and Highlanders respectively on Saturday.
Rebels captain Stirling Mortlock, who came off in the 68th minute with a recurrence of his back injury, said his side was again let down by not playing the full 80 minutes.
"We were in that game for probably 40-50 mins. Obviously the first 20 minutes it took us a while to get in the game, and from then on we were pretty competitive, besides the last 10 minutes," he said.
"It was disappointing the way we finished up."
Melbourne, still with just one away win this season, lost influential full-back Mark Gerrard before kick-off with a hamstring strain but Mortlock was not making any excuses for another muddled display.
"Unfortunately we've had a lack of continuity in our selections throughout the whole season, being our first year has made it tougher, but no excuses," he added.
"We just have to get better at being consistent. We are falling off our systems, in particular in defence and that showed a few times tonight.
"At half-time we spoke about being in the battle. We had to hold on to possession. Unfortunately we didn't do that enough and didn't put them under enough pressure and they're a good team."
Early onslaught
The boot of fly half Danny Cipriani kept the Rebels in the game with five from five while vice captain Gareth Delve, the hard-running Hugh Pyle and Lachlan Mitchell were amongst Melbourne's best.
The Blues got off to a blistering start with two rampaging tries to winger Rene Ranger in the second and 13th minutes.
Fellow winger Joe Rokocoko benefited by some more woeful defence by the Rebels, notably by a lost-looking Cipriani, as the hosts sped out to a 17-3 lead after just 18 minutes.
Some inaccurate goal-kicking by Blues fly half Stephen Brett kept Melbourne in the contest and the visitors were within striking distance at 23-17 by half-time after Cooper Vuna and Lachlan Mitchell both crossed for five-pointers.
Vuna showed off his explosive acceleration to burst through almost untouched to the line while Mitchell was on the end of a terrific off-load by Delve as the Welsh number eight was being bundled into touch by the returning Ali Williams.
Brett missed two more penalty shots after the break and another conversion after Benson Stanley waltzed through some more pedestrian midfield defence by Melbourne for his side's fourth try.
While Cipriani was enduring a forgettable night in defence with a number of missed tackles, his goal-kicking radar was spot on target as he reduced the hosts' lead to 28-23.
But sustained pressure, and quick recycling ball, a hallmark of the Blues' play early in the match, saw Payne dive over out wide before Braid loomed in support after a Lachie Munro break to score the home side's sixth try.
Blues: 40 - (R Ranger 2, J Rokocoko, B Stanley, J Payne, L Braid tries; S Brett conversion, 2 penalties, L McAlister conversion)
Rebels: 23 (C Vuna, L Mitchell tries; D Cipriani 2 conversions, 3 penalties)

Cooper will headline a long list of Wallabies positional battles, going head-to-head with friend Kurtley Beale in what shapes as a Lang Park blockbuster.
The biggest Australian crowd of the year is expected for the traditional grudge match and Cooper could well square his personal ledger with former schoolboy rival Beale, especially if his kicking radar is working.
The Waratahs have dominated the last six years of interstate battles through a grinding forwards game, repeatedly outmuscling the Reds in what has generally been a series of arm-wrestles.
The Reds this season, however, have surged to the top of the table through a combination of Cooper-inspired attacking flair and a canny field-position game.
But for this match they are prepared to roll up their sleeves for a tight battle of attrition if neither side allows the contest to open up.
Penalty goals and drop kicks could well be decisive and a Queensland win would virtually seal top spot in the Australian conference.
"Goalkicking is definitely important and that's shown in some of our wins, some of them have come off the back of successful goalkicking," Cooper said.
The Wallaby five-eighth, who has worked long and hard to eradicate his natural hook, kicked the Reds to their best win of the year with five from six against the Stormers in Cape Town two weeks ago.
But then he struggled for accuracy in last week's 39-30 win over the Bulls.
"I've got my massive curl out of my kick and that's what I've been aiming towards, and I've been kicking them very straight," he said.
"It's just a matter of putting them in the right direction."
Cooper first played opposite Beale in an interstate Under-16 match, but they have not worn the number 10 shirt against each other since their school days which ended with Beale, now the Wallabies full-back, holding a 2-1 advantage.
"It was always tough playing against him and I'd much rather play on his team," he said.
"He's a great player and he's been playing some cracking football over the past two years. It will be an interesting battle."
Reds coach Ewen McKenzie is "interested" to see how they perform, but he believes Cooper has an advantage because he is more experienced at five-eighth.
Cooper's recent eye-catching form has won him four man-of-the-match awards in the Reds' last six wins.
New South Wales mentor Chris Hickey says the Waratahs defence will not focus specifically on containing Cooper and his influential halves partner Will Genia to ensure the likes of Digby Ioane are not given extra line-breaking opportunities.
Genia's battle against Luke Burgess, number eight Scott Higginbotham's contest with the fit-again Wycliff Palu, Ioane's wing showdown with Lachie Turner and the front-row contest will also be strong Wallabies pointers in a World Cup year.
But the most intriguing head-to-head looms at number seven where Waratahs skipper Phil Waugh takes on his former apprentice Beau Robinson, who has revived his career with the Reds.
"It's a big night for both teams, it's a big night for individuals as well," Waugh said.
"It's a big game in the context of the season."

It is a cliche to say that it is more than a game, but in the case of football it is patently true.

Rumours are rife that O'Connor has all but signed on with the Rebels, but Graham said the uncertainty surrounding the 20-year-old's future had not distracted the Force this season.

"It's a process that we know is going on in the background.
"James is conducting himself very well throughout the process and for us it's business as normal.
"I expect it to be resolved in the next fortnight (but) there are no time limits on it at this stage.
"We'll just continue to conduct our business behind closed doors and a decision will be made in due time."
The Bulls (4-4) are in danger of missing the finals after losing their past two matches, but Graham said the defending champions remain a formidable outfit.
"Any side that can bring Fourie Du Preez back in from the bench has wonderful depth," Graham said.
"They're a quality side and while they're going through a bit of a rough patch, they've still got any number of world class players in their squad."
The 13th-placed Force will be looking to make it two wins on the trot after last week's 27-19 win over the Brumbies in Canberra.
